Introduction
After recovering from COVID-19, if you continue to experience dizziness, you should seek medical attention at a hospital to identify the specific cause and receive targeted medication under a doctor's guidance. Besides COVID-19, there are other respiratory infections such as influenza and the common cold. Therefore, even after recovery, it's important to continue wearing masks properly, washing hands frequently, minimizing unnecessary outings, and maintaining regular exercise to enhance your body's immunity.
After recovering from COVID-19, persistent dizziness requires medical evaluation at a hospital to identify the specific cause and receive targeted treatment under a doctor's guidance.
Novel coronavirus infection is primarily caused by infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus, including variants such as Delta and Omicron. Patients may experience symptoms like cough, fever, and headache. Due to the strong destructive nature of these viruses, the body's immune system can be compromised, leading to physical weakness, dizziness, fatigue, and other discomforts. A weakened immune system also increases susceptibility to other illnesses such as colds, fever, and bronchitis, which may present with symptoms including dizziness, fatigue, and cough. It is recommended that patients receive symptomatic treatment, using medications such as Betahistine Hydrochloride Tablets or Lianhua Qingwen Capsules as directed by a physician.
Even after recovery from COVID-19, although the virus has been cleared from the body, multiple organ systems—including the immune, respiratory, and digestive systems—may not have fully recovered, and the body may still remain in a weakened state. During this period, it is important to maintain a light and nutritionally balanced diet to support recovery.
In addition to COVID-19, other respiratory infectious diseases such as influenza and the common cold exist. Therefore, even after recovery, individuals should continue to wear masks, practice frequent hand hygiene, maintain social distancing, reduce unnecessary outings, ventilate their homes regularly, and engage in regular physical activity to enhance overall immunity.
